99% of the time I didn't want comments, I just wanted the content.
AMP performance was a huge win for me as a user.
I almost never wanted the "full experience" of a page. I wanted its core content, quickly.
I agree AMP is anti-competitive, but if publishers made their default pages as lightweight as an AMP page _felt_ then they would have far more of a leg to stand on with users in regards to it being anti-competitive.
